Key Factors That Impact Costs
The cost of printing a book depends on factors such as the type of book, page count, paper options, binding style, and quantity.
- Quantity: Higher quantities significantly lower the cost per book due to setup costs being spread across more copies.
- Page Count: Thicker books require more materials and labor, increasing costs.
- Paper Choices: Coated paper (gloss or matte) is great for vibrant images, while uncoated paper is better for text-heavy designs.
- Binding Style: Hardcover books typically cost more due to their premium construction and materials.
- Customization: Specialty finishes (e.g., embossing, foil stamping) may increase costs but enhance the book’s appeal.
